Stranger offers children candy from vehicle

Two children walking home from school were offered candy from a vehicle on Lakeshore Drive in St. Paul on Nov. 23.

It’s alleged a man driving a white car rolled down his window and asked the children if they wanted some candy.

When they didn’t reply, he drove off.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, possibly 50 years old with no facial hair. There was a passenger in the vehicle, and he’s described as wearing a baseball cap and possibly looking the same age as the driver.

RCMP are commending the children for not talking to the men, and telling adults about what happened.

They remind parents and caregivers talk to their children about safety and dealing with strangers.

St. Paul RCMP are investigating and asking anyone with information about this incident to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
